About this show
How was the universe born? Can a particle and a wave truly be friends? Could entropy carry the meaning of life? Greek poet Panagiotis Skoutelis dives headfirst into the deepest cosmological questions of our time, in a captivating hour of spoken-word poetry and fairy tales about black holes and subatomic particles. Whether you're a complete novice or an actual rocket scientist, this show will offer you a newly acquired understanding of the Cosmos, a thirst to find out more, or simply just a fun evening.
